The Democratic convention at Atchison |

The Democratic convention at Atchison
Monday failed to nominate district Judge,
which non-action Is taken as an endorse
ment of Judge jackson, the present incum
bent and Republican nominee. In speak
ing of the matter the Champion says that
This election will not be, IN any sense, a
mere partisan triumph. 1t will be the
selection. by al intelligent and sensible
people, Of an honest, impartial and just
man for position he Is conspicuously
qualified to fill with honor to himself and
usefulness to all tie people," This Is as 1t
should be, and we are pleased to note that
notwithstanding the fact that the Demo
Gratis Of this district felt constrained to
make a nomination for the position OF
judge, very many members of that party,
acting upon the idea set out the case of
Judge Jackson, will support Mr. Reds
candidacy at the polls, for while they know
his political affiliations are with the Repub-
licsn party they also believe that as Judge,
upon the bench, he will be above partisan
bias, and that possessed as he is Of a clear
conception of equity and thorough knowl-
edge Of the law his rulings will ever con-
form to those principles

How Hs Went to Vanderbilt for Advice

Boston Transcript.
A veteran Boston broker tells the
Listener this story of Commodore Van
derbilt, which he does not believe has
ever been in print:
ga good many years ago. just about
the time that Ccm nodore Vanderbilt was
building up the New York Central, g GER
tain young man in Boston came into pos
session, by the death of relative of the
,idy sum of $50 600. Twenty thousand
dollars was more money then than it is
to-day, and this young man had visions of
wealth untold. He studied the small
stock list in my Office day after day with
out coming ID any conclusion. At last
one day, seized by brilliant thought, he
broke out:
"'JchD, I'm going to see Vanderbilt
about it
"'About what2'
GA 1out placing my money!
III thought that was the maddest idea
that ever entered 9 human head. told
him that the Commodore wouldn't waste
twenty seconds on $50 600 investment.
But he would rot be Oissuaded. and one
| night about 10 O'Clock he rang the door
DELL at the Vanderbilt residence. After
some delay servant answered and de-
msnded his business.
OH res my card said the young
Bostouisn, MIR. John Smith, Boston.
Tell the Commodore that | must see him
| tonight, on business of the utmost i'm
portance.'
Mr.. Vanderbilt is about to retire.
responded the servant. you had better
come in the morning.
" 1T may be too late then for both him
snd me. 1 must see him to night, if for
only five minutes
"The servant disappeared, only to re-
turn with message from the Commodore
that he would see Mr.. Smith il the bust
ness was OF the utmost Importance The
BOstonisn followed the servant up into q
iit4le dressing room, where stood the
Commodore wrapped in a flannel garment
OF the night. H. had evidently got out of
led to receive the visitor.
We'll, young man, what do You
wan'?' was the Commodore's impatient
question.
Commodore Vanderbilt, 1 bsye re-
Gently come into possession of 500,
and have come on to New York to atkyou
for information about tie stock market
What the blank blank do you come
to me about the stock market for? Why
don't you go to some stock broSe1?'
" Because you are the stock market
yourself, Commodore
'L2ok here, Mr.. Smith, said the
notified Commodore, L admire your
cheek. l think it deserves encourage
ment. Go down to Wall street to-
morrow morning early. Put your
$40. coo and as much more as you can
raise into New York Central. Don't ask
me why, bus 60 and do it. It's G sIckly
hing now, but 1t aiu't going to be long.
Lock up your stock snd let it alone;
never mind what anybody tells you. Now
get OUT
THAT young man came back to Boston
and narrated his experience
"Did he follow the Commodore's ad-
vice? No. He said he wasn't going to
let Vanderbilt gobble up his $50 900. He
put it into mining stocks ana lost every
cent Of it."

reporter was sitting in the lobby of the
ST George hotel tonight and was an eye
witness to little episode that will fur
nish material for many yarn in the fra
ternity o. the knights OF the grip. Two
drummers, whose prominence suggests
the retention of their nsmes from publ
cation, but whom the reporter
will designate as one aud two,
were engaged in an animated dis
cussion as to the respective future
of Kansas City and Chicago. Number l
travels for prominent vanishing house
in Cleveland, OHIO, and Number repre-
sents leading wagon and carriage firm
In Grand Rapids, Mich. Number l lives
in Kansas City, while the business of
Mum Der 2 often cslls him to Chicago. The
conversation had become very exciting
when Number broke forth with the i'm
FASHIONED remark: "Why, nv desr sir,
VIII the anarchists get through with Chi
cego you can put the remains Of the whole
city into back room of one of our Il w
hotels. Why Chicago blacks boots for
Kansas City now. I'll give you half-a-
dollar If you will black my boots "
"I'll do it." was the enthusiastic reply.
A look Of surprise, then Intense disgust
overspread the features of the Kansas
City man, not that he loved the shine less,
but he loved the half-dollsr more.
What cruel things are some surprises
"Take that chair over there" insisted
the Chicago champion, coolly pointing to
a boot blacks stand.
Number l quietly took the seat ana
in the course of three or four minutes he
was the fortunate, but, unhappy possessor
of as brilliant shine as was ever given
in the Cincinnati Stock Exchange.
The half-dollsr was handed over with
great deliberation and the crowd took
drinks for which Kansas City paid.

TARIFF LEGISLATION.
No Bill Labeled Administration Meas
ure" VII Be- Presented TO Congress.

NJ Dill bhOelcu ''aQnlnlBTEaIIOn UAet<e-
ure" VIII Be Presented TO Congress.
ST. LOUIS, Mo } Nov. 81 A special
dispatch from Washington referring to
the statements which have been
made that Whist is called an
administration tariff bill will be
introduced in Congress during
the coming session, says this statement is
untrue. The most trustworthy ipfOrma-
ton is that there is the best reason for
whatever that tariff bill
will come to Congress ia any
other way than that it has always come.
Of a bill brought or sent to Congress upon
the sanction and approval OF the President
and Secretary Of the Treasury would be
more severely handicapped than such
measure possibly could il it came before
the members OF the House in the oIdi-
nary routine way. These considerations
have been fully csnvassed by
the President and those coun-
sought advice, so that it is thought from
all that has been learned he has decided
not to adopt the suggestion OF putting
forward bill labeled administration
measures. II is expected, however, his
message will go outside of ususl vague
generaIlties in treating this sub
jet and indicate with some specific
detail the kind of legislation
he thinks wise for Congress to undtr-
take in revising the tariff. This
will present the Administrations views
clear. enough, and it is likely whenever the
ways and means committee agree upon {
bill it will be in close accord with the
Presidents suggestions, but only in that
respect will it be an administration bill.
